We have guests from 17 countries and Estonia’s top experts from a range of business fields participating: asset management, bank- ing, IT, legal, advisory and business transformation to name but a few. Besides a strong presence of leading Nordic banks, today there are more than 30 cross-border financial and shared services pro- viders in Estonia. We believe that we have an excellent platform on which to generate much more business. As a location Estonia stands out internationally for it’s prudent fis- cal policy (AA- rating), strong economic growth (3.2% in 2012) and well capitalized banking sector (Tier I ratio of 23%). We are well known for our buzzing Startup scene and innovative e-solutions and infrastructure (#22 in the Global IT Report). And we are very proud of our skilful and hard-working people! We believe that amid financial crises and growing challenges to improve efficiency, Estonia is in an excellent position to develop into a strong location for financial services. This Forum will be full of insight and discussion on how to capi- talize on our platform in order to offer better business services to an even wider audience. I encourage your active participation and net- working to find opportunities to work together. I hope this Forum
